I was driving my new Chrysler 200 3.6L approximately 25-30 mph pressed the gas pedal and had no response. Engine was dead, the steering locked-up causing the vehicle to pull right running off the road. Fortunately, my two children and myself were not harmed. I am extremely disappointed/angry that my children were put into this situation. I believe this is a an unsafe vehicle and investigation should take place.

When slowing down almost to a stop, the vehicle downshifts hard. It cause a shutter or jerk and you can feel even in the brakes. Feels awful and cannot be normal. Also, when accelerating, the vehicle pulls hard to the right.

I rented this vehicle from enterprise in henderson nc. While traveling to nashville, tn., I noticed that the car often lost handling capacity when coming off small bridges as there is often a small drop off. This happened at least 7 times as I decided to slow down to 55 (limit is 65) whenever crossing them. This is quite a surprise and I had this experience only once before and it was on a very small vehicle some 10 years ago. It was noticeable to the point that my passenger felt it as well and I would have had a wreck had I snatched the wheel during these scenarios. To be more clear, after crossing the small bridges...maybe 20 yards long on average, there is a drop off to the normal highway and the front end does not transition down, it actually takes on air before doing so and that is where the loss of control comes in. I would hope this can be tested and corrected before an owner loses his/her life.
